Experiments on Superconducting Processors at the Dawn of NISQ era

September 8, 2021

The recent successful computation beyond the capability of classical computers has brought considerable attention to the Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) processors. The only way to evaluate the promise of NISQ devices is to implement algorithms on them that are of interest to the scientific community. In this talk, Google quantum researcher Pedram Roushan will present two of such examples based on our recent works on time crystals and the Kitaev toric code [1,2].
